Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has finally found success at the box office after facing a tough time since the pandemic. His new release Jolly LLB 3 has made an impressive start, collecting ₹12.50 crore on its opening day. The courtroom drama, directed by Subhash Kapoor, also stars Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla. Positive reviews and strong word-of-mouth have further boosted expectations, and trade experts believe the film will see a big jump in collections over the weekend.
Jolly LLB 3 Gives Akshay Kumar Strong Comeback
For nearly three decades, Akshay Kumar has been one of the most dependable stars in Hindi cinema. However, after the pandemic, many of his films failed to make a mark at the ticket window. Movies like Samrat Prithviraj and Raksha Bandhan struggled to perform, leaving fans and the industry concerned about his career graph. But 2025 has turned out to be a much-needed turning point. With earlier successes like Housefull 5, Kesari 2, and Sky Force, Akshay has already enjoyed three hits this year. Now, with Jolly LLB 3, he seems to have regained his momentum.

The film brings back Akshay Kumar in the lawyer’s role, which was earlier loved by audiences. Pairing up again with Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla, the movie offers both comedy and courtroom drama, which appear to have clicked with viewers. Reports suggest that the advance bookings for the second day were much stronger than the first day, showing growing excitement among audiences. National multiplex chains alone sold nearly double the number of tickets for Saturday compared to Friday, which indicates a potential 80 to 90 percent rise in collections.
Compared with Akshay’s other post-pandemic openings, Jolly LLB 3 has achieved the sixth-best start. Films like Sooryavanshi and Housefull 5 had higher first-day numbers, but this performance has still managed to surpass Samrat Prithviraj, Raksha Bandhan, and even Kesari 2. For Akshay, this film is more than just another release; it represents stability after a challenging phase.
